The Circumference of Boredom: effika's blog

I am a sucker for anything in a pretty color. Maui, by Indigo Bananas, is essentially a pretty, pretty gemstone in nail polish form.

Application is terrific, and there was minimal tipwear when removing it a week later.

These photos show one coat of Maui over a coat of Wet n’ Wild Black Creme. Base was Revlon Colorstay, and the topcoat was Poshé.

The polish is a teal colorshifter, going from teal to purple. I found flashes of green in it as well, and if you look closely you’ll also find tiny holographic glitter scattered throughout for extra shininess.

Here’s a nice shot of the color shift:

I usually see it as a brilliant teal:

And here’s the elusive green shift:

Nobody needs to land on this blog and find 14 years of mostly whining. (Waferbaby re-invented like every 18 months, so I can do it every 14 years.)

If anybody still reads this and is thinking, “NO REMEMBER THAT TIME YOU POSTED ‘margarita’d’ UNDER ADMIN POSTS AND WE LOL’D THE NEXT DAY PAST-YOU WASN’T ONLY EXISTENTIAL ANGST AND ISSUES WITH MEN,” you are welcome to find the appropriate internet archive page and reminisce in the comments.

It’s Spring. Just time to start fresh, you know?

Look, I made more socks! Now I have two pairs of wool socks. A pair of socks a year is a fine rate to grow my collection.

Also, it appears that I no longer am extremely paranoid and keeping everything on my own site. These photos need to go to many places, so I suppose it’s just easier for me to keep them up on my Flickr. Every now and then I play around with redesigning this site to pull in my various web presences: Ravelry, Twitter, Flickr. I have never been able to construct something that I like, though, and most of you read this in a feed reader somewhere else anyway. Hard to get motivated for a redesign when I know the 4 of you hardly are on the site at all. :-P
